DMX512 standard. You can use the DMX input port (A) to connect a DMX device or lighting console. This way you can control the DML-1200 from that lighting console. The DMX output port (G) can be connected to the next device in the daisy chain. The DMX output port is a passive loop through and is functional even when the device is not powered.
LEDs are only active when the LCD panel is activated or when an activation command is sent via Projector Toolset. Linking DML-1200’s Standard DMX linking The number of devices on a link will be determined by the combined number of channels required by all devices. One link (universe) contains 512 channels. R59770208 DML-1200 01/10/2008...
Page 28
DMX linking Therefore, one DMX universe can contain up to 4 DML-1200 devices with a Media Player and up to 10 devices without Media Player. To control a DML-1200 without Media Player, 51 DMX channel are necessary. When the Media Player is available, 128 channels are required.
